I received an urgent 911 for 4 orphan babies. These kids have literally no where else to go. As always, we need funds for Purchase, pick up/hauling, milk, brand inspections, hay, vetting etc. As of this moment I simply do not even have enough funds to cover their purchase.
I seriously need another “happy”, as we all do, after losing Shrek. Shrek wasn’t eating on his own, so I syringed him every hour. He seemed to “perk up” about 1:30 a.m., and started talking to me. We gave him everything and then some. He was in quite a bit of pain in the morning and was extremely sensitive to touch. After I gave him a dose of pain meds, he started walking up the the people who were at the rescue and asking for loves. A few hours later I fed him and he laid down for his “after dinner nap” like he always did.
I knew something was different, and I knew I was losing him. You want to go hysterical, but that is not good for them. So I held him as he quietly passed. Then I made the semi hysterical calls and rushed him in for a necropsy. Doc said it is often hard to find out what went wrong on those so small, but I had to know. It was beyond obvious when he did the necropsy. The internal bruising was vibrant and beyond obvious. We knew he had been stepped on/trampled immediately after birth, but only the injury to his leg was obvious. He simply didn’t have a chance after that. His Momma is a baby herself, and she wouldn’t let him eat and obviously knew something was wrong.
There are days when “I just can’t anymore”, yet at the same time it is something so precious and private when you spend 24/7 with them and you form an unbelievable bond. Yes this shattered my heart once again, but I am thankful to God that He chose me to spend that precious time with Shrek and be able to ease his pain and give him the chance to enjoy so much love before he passed. THANK YOU to everyone who helped him. I have no idea how bad that vet bill will be, but it was worth every penny.
Great news on Arielle – As is clear in the photos, her injury has improved dramatically, and we are expecting a full recovery. Thank you God, for the magic clay and Your healing.
Lil Man (the big dorky BLM kid) is settling in nicely. He is happy and has no idea that his body is so badly put together. I am running with Doc’s idea to just let him live and see how he does. He is happy and running and playing and thinks he is all that.
PLEASE HELP ME SAVE THE 4 BABIES FROM TODAY’S CALL. They deserve every chance, even though it does cost LOTS of money to save them and care for them. Y’all Rock and I am so grateful for all of you.
